We heard Kiama was a great spot so after newcastle we drove 275kms and stopped in to check out the famous blowhole.
You really did have to catch it at the right moment though...
It was a great little spot down here and so far no rain!

| Great scenery! |
It did get even bigger but I was not quick enough with the Camera!
We stayed at the East Beach caravan park, 4kms from town $31 per night.
After Kiama we headed inland to the capital of australia, Canberra. (250kms)
Although the sun was out when we arrived in Canberra on the 1st of July it was FREEZING! We had not been this cold the whole trip, that night it even got to -3 so we slept in trackies, beanies and gloves and we were still cold, it just goes right through you!
Could not visit the capital and not see parliament house (and really there is not much else to do here) so off we went to see where all the important decisions are made.
Very neat and tidy.
So much marble.
Its great to have a wander around and even better, it's free!

"Here is their spirit, in the heart of the land they loved; and here we guard the record which they themselves made" (Charles Bean, founder).
The Australian War Memorial commemorates the sacrifice of Australian men and women who served in war. Visit one of the world's great museums; an outstanding archive and centre for research into Australia's wartime history.
Pay your respects and reflect. Find out what it was like to be in war. Connect with people and events that helped shape Australia.

We had a free half hour guided tour inside the museum, very informative.
Even the pictures look cold!
Hoping it will warm up for our last few nights on the road, can't believe we are so close to home after almost a year of travelling! We have now been to every state in Australia!
Next stop Merimbula!
